Mikel Arteta’s side have seen their title hopes dashed in recent weeks due to a dip in form which has seen the Gunners slip to fourth in the Premier League table, already nine points behind leaders Liverpool . One of the problems has been in attack, where the Gunners have struggled to score, scoring just once in their last three outings in all competitions. Kai Havertz is the team’s top scorer so far with just four league goals, followed by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli with three.
Arsenal have been tipped to try and sign Osimhen, who is currently on a season-long loan from Napoli to Galatasaray. The striker was linked with Arsenal in the summer but ended up heading to Turkey where he has impressed with eight goals and three assists in nine appearances so far for Gala. Gallas believes he would be the perfect option to strengthen Arsenal’s attack this winter and has compared the 25-year-old to former Chelsea ace Didier Drogba.
Osimhen perfect for Arsenal
“If I could sign one player for Arsenal in January it would be a world-class striker, but they are not available in January. No top striker is available at the moment. I wanted to talk about Osimhen because I know he is in Galatasaray, and I still don’t understand why he is there. This is the type of profile Arsenal need. They need a player with that pedigree. With Victor, maybe he won’t score 20 goals in the season, but he will scare the defenders, he will give them a hard time, and that will give the players around him an opportunity to score goals. That’s why he reminds me a little of Drogba. If you remember when Drogba was at Chelsea, he gave defenders a hard time. Frank Lampard was there, almost a second striker, and he always scored. I think he scored more goals than Didier during a season. Arsenal don’t have this player at the moment. When you look at Gabriel Jesus, he’s not really in shape, he’s very fit,” he told Prime Casino. “He doesn’t play. Looks like he’s not happy. Sterling is not playing. Havertz, ups and downs, ups and downs. We need more regularity. »
